We have stayed at the Jefferson Hotel previously. I can truly say that this hotel sustains the highest standards of quality with regard to the hotel room, extremely helpful and pleasant staff, in-hotel restaurants, indoor heated pool, gym, and other amenities. It is one of the most beautiful hotels we've stayed at, which is another one of the reasons we keep going back. Self-parking is included and very readily accessible to the hotel. You get what you pay for, and this hotel lives up to its pricing relative to more conventional hotels.

Best thing about the Jefferson is its staff, they have helpfulness and accommodation down to a fine art. Most appreciated amenity is the car service which makes getting to where you're going during your stay as easy as possible. The hotel restaurant was not inspiring, rather limited menu. All in all, though, a great stay in a great city.

An absolutely beautiful hotel! Make sure to bring some nicer clothes to really feel like you're immersed in the environment. I highly recommend eating at Lemaire inside the hotel. Great amenities including a gorgeous bathtub and shower. I recommend the King room! Very helpful staff as well, and there are cute gift shops too. My wife especially loved the complimentary robe you can use in the room! There is no complimentary breakfast that I know of, but there's plenty of options within walking distance or some options inside the Gators gift shop.
